I was just emailing you and simply wanted to say that I absolutely loved
the trip. I have never even seen that many birds in hunting videos. You
have a spectacular setup from the lodge and hospitality you show to the
hunting and bird production you can show. I truly believe that you have
one of the most under rated outfits in the northern territory of North
America.

Adam Burken

We had a great time. We will see you next year.

Tommy Ward

As usual, the Ongaros outing provided the stuff for tales.

Thanks for your effort and attention to detail that allows for a
memorable experience. You guys are the greatest.

Gary Good

I just wanted to say thanks again, and commend you on the first class
operation that you and your staff run. It was an experience of a life
time, and one that I am already looking forward to next year. Once again
thanks for a very memorable trip, I hope to see those pics in the
brochure, and I hope y'all have a great deer season. We may have to talk
about a deer hunt. Well good luck and see you later.

John Perry

You have a great business. We know those that come, don't ever stop
coming back.

Jake Bippart

Good luck on the Deer venture. You deserve it!!! You run one of the
finest hunting operations it has been my pleasure to hunt.

Best wishes, Joel Winitz

Good luck with the Deer Outfit! If you run it like the ducks, you will
be booked for years to come.

Tim Furness

I would like to thank you and all your staff for a hunt of a lifetime....I
have been wanting to do this since I was 16 years old...and at age 59 a wish
came true. It was special because I got to come with my son, Lane. This
was a first class hunt in every way. I would like to thank your guides,
they did a great job. I hope you enjoyed the duck bits.....

Ron Plaisance

Thanks again for another great hunt. I lost the bill so let me know if
this does not cover the bill. Any overage, apply to next year.

Pete Clausen ( in a letter to the Bird Hunting Report Feb 2000)

Just a quick note to thank you for an outstanding three days of hunting.
The highlight for me was when you took Ray, Carroll, John and myself on
that afternoon goose hunt. Despite the dry year, you and your crew
pulled it off again in the Ongaro tradition. Our afternoon hunt should
have been on film, it was that good. Thanks again, you professionalism
and dedication is greatly appreciated by our group each year.

Steve Cotta

Thank you for the incredible hunting experience at Ongaro’s. My son and
I really enjoyed it. I have enclosed a check in the amount of $XXXX to
cover the remaining balance. I look forward to returning to hunting with
you in the near future.

William Culp

Thank you and your team for the shoot of a lifetime and a record of 40
ducks + 40 geese + 3 snows. Some things I will never forget.

Steve Tucker

Thank you so much for all your efforts to create such a wonderful hunt.
You did a great job and the last day at the roost I will never forget.

Scott Sutherland

I recently went looking through old photographs and came up with several
duplicate photos. I thought you might like to have them for your
collection. Some of them might warrant posting on the ‘wall’,
particularily the ones from this past hunt. I hope the rest of your
season went extremely well and, as always, we look forward to hunting
you and the guys again next year.

Mark Joye

I just wanted to thank you for the great hunts we had several weeks ago.
Everything was first class, from the hunting, food, accommodations,
guides to the friendships. I look forward to a return trip. In that
regard, I would like to reserve the first available weekend next hunting
season.

Earl Humphrey

Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoyed hunting with you
this past week. It was everything I was told; and more!

In addition to the wonderful goose and duck shoots, I was very impressed
with the quality and enthusiasm of your guides and staff, the
accommodations worked perfectly and the area is a beautiful one. We had
an uneventful trip home and are left with lots of birds to cook up and
many memories.

Scott Carl

We truly had a wonderful stay at your lodge. The hunts were awesome! I
hope to hunt with “Ya’ll” again next year.

Karl Wiedemann

Thanks for the great hunt.

Herb Stackhouse

Frank Repka (in a Christmas letter to his family and friends)

Please reserve me a spot at the same time for next year.

Nathan Allen

I just wanted to write you and let you know what a wonderful hunt we
had. With all the frills that you give to us hunters, it really makes
the trip so nice to be associated with you and the class of people that
you have.

William H. Ford

I was fortunate enough to hunt last year with you and your team. I was
on the hunt with Victor from Skyline Camo and the Penn’s Woods camera
crew. Your lodge and staff is some of the finest hunting facilities and
people that I have met. I would like to get on a priority list for next
hunting season.

Marty Stewart

Enclosed is the information packet for the hunt with Claudio Ongaro
during the second week of September.

Half of us have hunted with Claudio several times before. We have found
him to be organized, hard working and knowledgeable about his hunting
range and the waterfowl.

Porter Rose (in a letter to his hunting party)

You and your staff are very professional in what you do. I had a great
time on my deer hunt and I am looking forward to a return trip in 2005.

John Kemp

The hunt began like so many before, with the e-mails full of trail cam
photos from Claudio excited to show me this year’s talent pool. So many
pictures of 140’s on up is enough to make any whitetail hunter’s heart
start to beat just a little bit faster….
